Suggestions for Poultry farmers in February month

February month is the best time for starting the broiler rearing as the day temperature starts rising. Get egg type checks booked well in advance with a hatchery of repute in the adjoining area. Purchase the day-old chicks duly vaccinated against Marek’s disease from reputed  hatchery. It is essential to clean and disinfect the poultry sheds before putting the chicks. Provide proper temperature under the brooder i.e. 95º F and decrease it by 5º F every week until it reaches to 70º F. Switch on the brooder 24 hours before arrival of chicks. Provide balanced ration to birds according to their requirements. Deworm the chicks regularly. Cull all the uneconomical layers regularly because they are increasing your feed costs. Do not allow visitors to enter inside the poultry house. Do not disturb poultry birds frequently as it will result in reduced growth as well as production.
